Official Raiders-Bengals Game Thread

Defense is doing ok - phoned it in on that drive though

True -- but they did force Oakland to work for it and use up 5+ mins. Clock is our buddy right now.

TD Raiders.

D looks OK, Airborne. Still having 3rd down issues. Got some turnovers. Problem has been th offense turning it over. We ought to be up another 7 or 10 points, at least.

I suppose that should be expected at least a little though, Raiders did have the number 3 pass defense in the league coming into this game. Looks like we still put up some nice yards through the air regardless.

Edit: Nice looking return there. Wish I could actually watch this game.

Come on Palmer that just sucks

[101Airborne]

Wow, another interception. Heh, says here we got a safety though. Now it's saying touchback, figured it was an error.

[HoosierCat]

Why are they even throwing??? Just run Rudi three times. Even if he doesn't get in you take 2 mins off the clock and kick the FG! Dumb, dumb, dumb playcalling.

[volcom69]

We play like this against a good team we loose cant play like this, good thing its the raiders

[Pinkygen]

Sloppy 2nd and 4th quarters. We'll need better next week.

(Though I do love the D standing up with the late sacks).

Holy Crap another Ugly cheerleader...don't the Bengals have any good looking chicks?

[ShulaSteakhouse]

Can we get some cheerleaders who don't have rotted teeth?

[HoosierCat]

Balti and Miami both poised to score again...

[rwalling]

Paging Anthony Wright, Kenny Watson, Stacy Andrews, Glenn Holt, etc. you're on...

[Pinkygen]

Why is Palmer tossing the ball around?

Bring in Wright.

Edit: Never mind, they bring him in?

[HoosierCat]

Nice defensive stand.

TD Fins. Pats getting skunked in Miami.

TD Balti. KC is toast.

[Kazkal]

Lol I hope probowl voters look past this game

[101Airborne]

These interceptions, have they mostly been Palmer just throwing to the wrong color or has there been something else going on?

[rwalling]

What this afternoon says

Contenders - JAX, Balt, CINCY, NYG

Pretenders - CAR, KC, PHI/WAS (both suck)

and I don't know what to think of MIA destroying NE (after they destroyed CHI earlier)

Like 4 decent out of 30..... /sighs

So who thinks rudi has 300 yard game vs indy lol

[HoosierCat]

TD Jax. 44-17 blowout of Indy. Wow.

[rwalling]

TD Jax. 44-17 blowout of Indy. Wow.

Indy couldn't save laying an egg until next week? Maybe Peyton needs to do a few more commercials.

[HoosierCat]

Well, despite the fact the Bengals were very sloppy, they win. Play like this against a good team and we will get killed. Clean it up by next week, fellas!

Meanwhile, GO BILLS! Dont want the Pats falling into in the WC picture!

[Kazkal]

Well ya but it's not like every game carson throws 3 ints and rudi fumbles (what 600 snaps without one?)plus we should be able to run the ball down their throats.

[membengal]

Piece of cake. Way more turnovers than you could reasonably expect to give up and still rolled by 17 (and could have been 24 if ML were not so nice).

Time to heal up and focus on stealing one of next two on the road.

[Stripes]

I think Carson's interceptions had a lot to do with Oakland's man-to-man. The first he went right to T.J. but didn't lead him well, and what's his face made a great play on the ball. The second looked like it was probably a miscommunication, or Chad just stopped in his route for whatever reason. The third was much like the first... didn't lead T.J. enough.

[HoosierCat]

The third was much like the first... didn't lead T.J. enough.

Maybe, but that throw never should have been called in the first place. I put that one on Brat. No excuse not to just hand the ball to Rudi and burn time off the clock. Worst case, you kick a FG, go up by 20, and give Oakland the ball back with only about 4 and a half minutes left.
